The crystalline of Ios consists of the lower (gneis-slate) and upper (marble-slate) sections. Relictic granite occlusions were identified within the gneis complex, indicating magmatic origin. There were tonalitic to granitic magmatites in the lower section. There is no comagmatic relationship between tonalities and the metagabroids. Relictic mineral phases and other factors indicate alpidic evolution. Radioactive dating confirmed the results of the mineralogical and petrological examinations. A summary of all information available indicates that the structure resembles that of the Tauern mountain range: An area that evolved alpidically consolidated paleozoically, and the latter is observable through the mesozoic series like through a window. Similarities and dissimilarities to other formations in the Greek isles were discussed. The bibliography cites 146 references.
